[Coco] LWTools & Nitros9 Build

[Bill Nobel]

Well I somewhat have it working,  I start the build and it trucks along for a bit then stops on ‘level1/coco1/cmds no rule to make target basic09’ I have 3rd party stuff installed in ~/Coco3/Nitros9-v3.3.0 3rd party’ same as Nitros9?

I've seen several complaints on this fact in the MinGW forums.
